Guest guest Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 Here's my latest update. I am sure everyone will find this as confusing as I and the doctors. I was experiencing heart palpitations out of the blue that were terrifying. Everything checked out fine with the heart so the doc's decided it must be the cytomel. I started tapering off the cytomel and did quit having the palpitations. But, then sythroid starting causing the shakey, sweaty, tight chest and anxiety attacks. So I started cutting that dose. The oc's said I must have that dose and wanted to increase it. Im afraid to because of the associated chest pain. I have been of cytomel for nearly a month and am having constant anxiety attacks with severe tremours. I now take a very low dose synthroid tolerated only with a potentent antiaxiety drug. I cry a the drop of a hat altered with sheer anxiety. What is going on, please anyone really know? The ER put me on the antianxiety with the low dose synthriod until I can see an expert. Does anyone know of documented cytomel withdrawal symptoms? Sherry I was stable, I can't believe I'm going through this now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
